Resonance Raman and resonance hyper-Raman intensities: structure and dynamics of molecular excited states in solution.
Resonance Raman scattering is discussed as a vibronic spectroscopy that can provide detailed information about the structure and dynamics of excited electronic states of molecules. The emphasis is on molecules in liquid solution. The theory of resonance Raman intensities and experimental and interpretive methods are discussed both in a historical context and in their present and future implementations. The related but much less developed technique of two-photon-resonant hyper-Raman scattering is also discussed in a similar context.
